,,,,&,&&,, ,,,,&&&,,&
&,,,,,&&&, YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A RIFT - A ,,,,&,&&,,
,&,,,,&,&& CLEARING, NARROW BUT IMMEASURABLY LONG. &,,,,,&&&,
,,&,,,,,&& TO YOUR SIDES ARE WALLS MADE OF TREES, ,&,,,,&,&&
&,,&,,,,&, THICK AND READY TO SWALLOW YOU. THE SUN ,,&,,,,,&&
&&,,&,,,,, IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN, BUT NONTHELESS &,,&,,,,&,
&&&,,&,,,, IT IS VERY BRIGHT - THE AIR FEELS LIGHT &&,,&,,,,,
&,&&,,&,,, BLUE, ALMOST WHITE. ,&&,,&,,,,
,,&&&,,&,, ,&&&,,&,,,
,,&,&&,,&, ALONG THE SPAN OF THE CLEARING LAY TWO ,&,&&,,&,,
,,,,&&&,,& PARALLEL SILVERY LINES, DARK HARD ,,,&&&,,&,
,,,,&,&&,, METAL. SOMEHOW YOU CAN SEE HOW HEAVY ,,,&,&&,,&
&,,,,,&&&, THEY ARE. ,,,,,&&&,,
,&,,,,&,&& ,,,,,&,&&,
,,&,,,,,&& THEY EMIT A HIGH PITCHED WHINE... ,,,,,,,&&&

,,,,,&&&,, YOURE AT THE TRAIN STATION, ON A ,&,,,,,&,,
,,,,,&,&&, CATWALK ABOVE THE RAILS. YOUR TRAIN IS ,,&,,,,,&,
,,,,,,,&&& LATE, OR YOU ARE LATE TO THE TRAIN. ,,,&,,,,,&
&,,,,,,&,& IT'S A SUMMER AFTERNOON AND THE STATION ,,,,&,,,,,
,&,,,,,,,& IS BUSY, FULL OF RELAXED CONFIDENCE. &,,,,&,,,,
,,&,,,,,,& ,&,,,,&,,,
,,,&,,,,,, YOU'RE IN HIGH SPIRITS, ALTHOUGH A BIT ,,&,,,,&,,
,,,,&,,,,, STRESSED ABOUT THE TIME, WHILE MOVING ,,,&,,,,&,
,,,,,&,,,, UP THE STAIRS TO YOUR PLATFORM. THE ,,,,&,,,,&
&,,,,,&,,, STATION IS IN SEVERAL LEVELS, ALL ,,,,,&,,,,
,&,,,,,&,, PLACED WITHIN EACHOTHER BY SOME &,,,,,&,,,
,,&,,,,,&, INTELLIGENT DESIGNER, AND FULL OF &&,,,,,&,,
,,,&,,,,,& STAIRS, ELEVATORS, SHORTCUTS, ,&&,,,,,&,
,,,,&,,,,, BAZAARS... YOU SIGHT YOUR TRAIN THROUGH ,&&&,,,,,&
&,,,,&,,,, SOME GLASS WINDOWS. IT'S... NOT WHERE ,&,&&,,,,,

&,,,,,,&,& SHACKS, BUILT OF METAL AND STONE, THEN ,,,,&,&&,,
,&,,,,,,,& PROPER HOUSES WITH MORTAR TO KEEP THEM &,,,,,&&&,
,,&,,,,,,& TOGETHER... WHO IN TURN MAKE WAY FOR ,&,,,,&,&&
&,,&,,,,,, THE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS, THE URBAN ,,&,,,,,&&
